In Luke 2:21-35, Simeon and Anna, two elderly and devout Jews, are waiting in the Temple for the Messiah to come. When Mary and Joseph bring Jesus to the Temple to be circumcised, Simeon takes the baby in his arms and praises God. He says that Jesus is the Savior of Israel and that he will be a light to the Gentiles. Anna also praises God and says that Jesus is the redemption of Jerusalem.
Simeon and Anna's words are a prophecy about Jesus' ministry. Jesus will indeed be a light to the Gentiles, and he will bring salvation to Israel. He will also be a sign that will be spoken against, and his death will pierce Mary's soul.
